i'm not sure what you are refering too? is there a class="vcard" as a
parent anywhere? if not then this is definatly invalid! there MUST be
a parent class of 'vcard'[1] "A parser finds hCards in an (X)HTML
context by looking for elements with the root class name "vcard"... "

the fact that the class="fn org" is on the TD or the A in your
examples is irrelevant. Both the FN and ORG values are expecting
STRINGS the TD and A offer no special semantics and therefore will use
the nodeValues which in your examples are exactly the same, "Sudbury".
The TITLE attribute is onlyl used in the case of the ABBR element and
would be ignored no matter if the class="fn org" were on the A or the
TD.
